Us-Miami Beach-Art Deco-Building-Moon

A waxing crecent moon sets over neon lights on an Art Deco style renovated hotel on Ocean Drive in South Miami Beach, Florida 26 September 2006. The city of Miami Beach has a concentration of over 800 Art Deco buildings all within one square mile. The white- and pastel-colored stucco buildings originally built in the 1920s have in the past two decades been restored to their former splendor. Some of the characteristics of the Art Deco movement in Miami include over-all symmetry, ziggurat (stepped) rooflines, glass block, decorative sculptural panels, eyebrows, round porthole windows, terrazzo floors, curved edges and corners, elements in groups of three and neon lighting used in both exteriors as well as interior spaces. The chamber of commerce for the city reports that some 7, 281, 200 visitors came to South Beach in 2004. AFP PHOTO/Roberto Schmidt / AFP PHOTO / ROBERTO SCHMIDT

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting ambiance of Miami Beach's Art Deco district. Bathed in the soft glow of a waxing crescent moon, neon lights illuminate an impeccably renovated hotel on Ocean Drive. The building stands as a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage, boasting over 800 Art Deco structures within just one square mile. Originally constructed in the 1920s, these white- and pastel-colored stucco buildings have undergone meticulous restoration over the past two decades, returning them to their former glory. The distinctive characteristics of Miami's Art Deco movement are evident in every detail: from overall symmetry and ziggurat rooflines to glass block accents and decorative sculptural panels. The charm continues inside with features like eyebrows, round porthole windows, terrazzo floors, curved edges and corners - all meticulously preserved or recreated. Neon lighting is not only reserved for exteriors but also graces interior spaces, adding an extra touch of glamour. It comes as no surprise that South Beach attracts millions of visitors each year. In fact, according to the chamber of commerce for Miami Beach, a staggering 7,281,200 people flocked to this vibrant destination in 2004 alone. Through this mesmerizing image captured by Roberto Schmidt for Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported into a world where history meets modernity under the watchful gaze of a serene moonlit sky.
